Study on the Performance of Expansive Subgrade Soil Stabilized with Enset Ash by Derara Neguse, Eleyas Assefa, S. M. Assefa

“…The microstructural properties of natural soil and stabilized soil were selected based on strength properties and were observed by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging device, and the result clearly shows the alteration in the fabric and morphology of the natural soil. The mineralogical composition of expansive soil is identified by XRD, and the result shows that the expansive soil in the study area is mainly composed of quartz and montmorillonite, which separately take up 50% and 38.5% of the total air-dried sample, while the percentage of kaolinite was 11.5%. …”
